I began this silk dupioni dress using Vogue pattern V8511. I drew a pattern of vines and leaves on the side front fashion fabric pieces with chalk. I laid a piece of satin beneith the dupioni and zig zagged over my chalk lines. I then removed the fabric inside the leaf patterns. I completed the dress as described on the pattern sheet.

Beautiful job, and great embellishments!
Gorgeous. Bet it makes the wearer feel beautiful the minute she puts it on.
I love what you've done, so much so that I went to Vogue Patterns to look at the design. I was delighted to see that it is a Very Easy, Very Vogue. Thank you for the inspiration. (One thought: a dress this chic deserves an equally glamorous belt.) Keep up the good work.
Lovely job. You chose a beautiful fabric for this dress, crisper than the "suggested fabrics" on the pattern, but which works beautifully with this skirt. I wonder what a drapier fabric would do, like the lightweight jersey or crepe recommended. I like your simple, elegant embellishment, attractively placed. The binding on sleeves and neckline is nicely done. Thanks for sharing it with us.
